#195 - Black Tiger Gang
Liang Jin thought to himself that things were not good; he didn't expect to be a step late.
A passerby secretly pointed at the group of men from the Ji family who were smashing things and whispered:
"They are from the Black Tiger Gang."
"The second son of the Ji family is poor and addicted to gambling. As a result, he owes money to the Black Tiger Gang and can't repay it when it's due."
"The Ji family of three were taken away by the Black Tiger Gang not long ago. Now they are probably being held in the secret room in the backyard of the gambling house."
Speaking of this, the passerby couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Liang Jin frowned slightly.
Black Tiger Gang…
He had certainly heard of their reputation.
The Black Tiger Gang was one of the most famous gangs in the capital.
If one were to say where the gangs in the world are the most difficult to manage, it would undoubtedly be under the emperor's feet, in the capital city.
If it were a gang in a small place, often a county magistrate could grit his teeth, send people to kill, kill, kill, and settle the matter.
But the capital is completely different.
The power structure in the capital is complex. No one knows which important figure in the court is behind the gangs here.
Especially these gangs, they have formed a chain of interests with many dignitaries and officials in the capital.
And the real bosses of the gangs often dress in bright clothes, live in mansions, and like to do charity, which leads many people to be deceived, thinking they are generous elders.
This leads to the gang bosses having the protection of noble officials above and the support of the people below, making it extremely difficult to deal with them by conventional means.
And the highest official responsible for governing these gangs is called the Shuntian Prefecture Prefect.
Shuntian Prefecture is the capital area, indicating that the emperor's throne is in accordance with the will of heaven.
The position of the Shuntian Prefecture Prefect is naturally transcendent among the various prefectures.
The highest officials of other prefectures can only be called "Prefect"; only the highest official of Shuntian Prefecture can be called "Prefecture Prefect."
The Shuntian Prefecture Prefect is a third-rank official, which seems impressive, but in reality, he is caught between a rock and a hard place.
The capital area is full of dignitaries. Sometimes a small civil dispute can often stir up a big storm. No one knows who is supporting it behind the scenes, and no one knows who is using the small case to amplify it and attack political enemies.
A third-rank Prefecture Prefect is obviously unable to cope with this situation.
Especially in this position, it is particularly easy to offend people.
Once you offend too many people, if you accidentally make a mistake one day, a large group of powerful people will immediately jump on you.
In the officialdom of the Daqian Dynasty, there has always been an emphasis on doing less is better than doing more, and doing nothing is better than doing less.
It is better to have a smaller official position than to provoke disputes, let alone treat one's future as a child's play.
Therefore, the Shuntian Prefecture Prefect has become the most awkward position in Daqian, and anyone without a backer is unwilling to scheme for it.
Most people who serve as Shuntian Prefecture Prefect have two situations:
At least, the current Shuntian Prefecture Prefect in the capital is a slacking-off type.
This has also led to rampant gangs and rampant thieves in the capital.
Liang Jin had been watching from the side, not knowing whether the Ji family had hidden the secret manual at home.
If it was found by this group of strong men, he would definitely take action to snatch it.
The Ji family was really destitute, and the strong men really couldn't find anything of value.
They could only smash around randomly and then leave cursing.
Liang Jin saw that the strong men from the Black Tiger Gang did not find the secret manual, so he was sure that the secret manual was probably still in the hands of the Ji family.
At the same time, he had already entered Ji Zhong's name in the 【Thousand Mile Tracking】 panel.
There were many people with the same name in the capital. Liang Jin roughly compared them and, combined with the direction in which these Black Tiger Gang members left, he already had a clue in his mind.
He immediately quickly headed towards the destination.
…
Thousands of Gold Gambling House.
Backyard.
A large room.
There are no windows in this room, only two small vents.
The door is heavy, and as long as the door is closed, the sound insulation effect is very good.
No matter what kind of screams are made inside, it is difficult to hear outside.
Here, it is also called the secret room.
It is a place in the gambling house specially used to deal with debtors and cheaters.
At this time.
In the room, there are three people hanging.
A middle-aged couple, plus a teenager.
All three were stripped naked, not even the last bit of dignity was left.
They are the Ji family of three.
And a group of strong men from the Black Tiger Gang are checking their clothes.
After a while, a man with a full beard roared:
"Damn it! They really are a family of paupers!"
"There is nothing valuable on them, just this broken book!"
This bearded man has a face full of horizontal flesh. Although he is short, he has a very strong aura. When he glares at people, it seems that he is about to suddenly attack.
This makes anyone standing in front of him seem to be a head shorter than him.
This person is Gu Tao, nicknamed "Dwarf Tyrant" in the Black Tiger Gang.
At the same time, he is also the head of the Thousand Gold Gambling House.
He picked out the half-broken book from the Ji family's clothes and threw it aside casually.
A subordinate picked up the broken book and looked at it, and asked:
"Boss, what is this book?"
Dwarf Tyrant Gu Tao replied unhappily:
"A martial arts secret manual."
The subordinate heard the words and couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"Martial arts secret manual, that must be worth a lot of money!"
Martial arts secret manuals are not uncommon in the capital market, especially yellow-level secret manuals can be bought for only a dozen taels of silver in many places in the city.
Of course, these yellow-level secret manuals are some basic martial arts that are rotten on the street.
If you want to buy better manuals, you need connections, something ordinary people can't access.
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao snorted coldly:
"Worth your mom's money!"
"This broken manual only has half a page left on each page, it's just a piece of waste paper!"
But the subordinate went straight to stuff the manual into his arms.
Waste paper is still useful!
Buying paper costs money!
This waste paper can be used for at least half a month when going to the toilet.
Among the three people hanging there.
Ji Zhong looked dim, helplessly watching his ancestral half-volume manual being searched away, but he didn't dare to argue.
His wife was crying incessantly with her eyes closed, trying to twist her body to prevent her body parts from being seen by these men.
Only the young man glared, staring at the Black Tiger Gang men and angrily said:
"Let my mother go!"
"If you want to fight or kill, come at me! Let my mother go!"
Their family of three was caught here by the Black Tiger Gang, stripped naked and hung up, with no dignity left.
Especially for the young man, the treatment of his mother in this way was a great humiliation to him.
This made his eyes red and the veins on his forehead throbbing.
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao heard the words, sneered and came to the young man:
"You're called... Ji Fei, right?"
"You kid, seems to have a hard bone?"
While speaking, the dwarf tyrant Gu Tao suddenly slammed the wooden stick in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden stick brought a gust of wind, accurately hitting Ji Fei's head.
With such force, even the wooden stick broke into two pieces.
In an instant, blood kept pouring out from the cracked head of Ji Fei, staining his entire face red.
"Is your bone harder than my stick!!!!!"
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao roared fiercely.
Ji Zhong and his wife, as parents, hurriedly cried and begged when they saw this scene.
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao was cruel and merciless, how could he stop?
He saw him insert the broken half of the wooden stick in his hand into Ji Fei's mouth, tearing Ji Fei's lips, and even breaking a few teeth.
"If you have the ability, pay back the money!"
"Damn you!"
"Your mother is so ugly, I feel disgusted just looking at her."
"If she was prettier, I could sell her for money."
"But..."
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao said here, pointing to the two large wolfhounds tied in the corner:
"These two dogs are trained, they won't dislike it."
When a group of strong men heard the words, lewd expressions appeared on their faces.
Ji Zhong and his wife trembled in horror when they heard the words.
But Ji Fei spat out the broken stick in his mouth, his face and mouth were full of blood, extremely miserable.
But he still gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at the dwarf tyrant Gu Tao:
"Let my mother go!!!!!"
"If you have the guts, let her go!!!!!"
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao sneered:
"You dare to be so loud when you owe money."
He drew a dagger from his waist and aimed it at Ji Fei's eyes:
"If you shout again, I'll dig out one of your eyes!"
Ji Fei still glared at the dwarf tyrant.
His face, stained red with blood, was full of great fortitude and unyieldingness.
His expression was fierce, like a trapped beast.
He opened his mouth and roared:
"Ah!!!!!!"
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao's eyes turned cold, and the dagger stabbed fiercely towards Ji Fei's face.
Ji Fei's eyes, full of hatred, were about to burst, but he still didn't even blink his eyes.
His eyes seemed to be ignited by raging fire, his eyeballs protruded, and his pupils flickered with a kind of hatred and anger that was almost crazy.
The muscles at the corners of his mouth were so tense that they were about to break, baring his teeth, as if he wanted to condense all his anger and hatred at this moment, and then release it through this roar.
The dagger stabbed into Ji Fei's cheekbone.
The skin broke open and blood gushed out.
The dwarf tyrant Gu Tao held back.
At that moment, he was actually intimidated by Ji Fei's terrifying gaze.
He had been in the underworld for so many years, and he had never seen anyone so fortitude, even not blinking when his eyes were about to be dug out.
Even those martial artists with high martial arts skills can't do this.
So he left Ji Fei's eyes.
"You kid, not bad."
"Follow me in the future, recognize me as your godfather, and work for me."
"Then today I will waive your debts."
The dwarf tyrant had a heart of cherishing talent, so he opened his mouth to solicit.
He believed that this kid would definitely make a name for himself in the underworld.
Ji Zhong and his wife were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly persuaded their son to agree.
But Ji Fei still glared at the dwarf tyrant, his muscles tensed, and he said hoarsely:
"I am a descendant of a famous and upright sect! How can I associate with you shameless villains?!"
"Still want to be my godfather? Who do you think you are?!"
"Pah!!!!!"
He spat the blood mixed with saliva in his mouth on the face of the dwarf tyrant Gu Tao.
When the subordinates saw this, they covered their mouths and tried to hold back their laughter.
At this moment, the dwarf tyrant Gu Tao completely lost face.
Killing intent finally jumped in his triangular eyes:
"Good! Very good! You kid is really good!"
"You don't appreciate favors, then don't live!"
As he said, the dagger in his hand was about to stab down again.
This time, he aimed at Ji Fei's throat!
A stab down can be fatal!
Just then.
"Bang!!!!!"
Accompanied by a loud noise.
The heavy door was kicked open from the outside.
A figure also appeared at the door.
